Tonight at Glasgow’s Radisson Blu hotel, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) in Scotland held their 2011 British Academy Scotland Awards. The evening was hosted by Glaswegian comedian Kevin Bridges.

Morag McKinnon's Donkeys took the night's top prize of Best Feature Film. It also won Best Actor for one of its stars James Cosmo, who was competing against co-star Brian Pettifer in that category. It had led with five nominations.

Also winning two prizes was Peter Mullan's NEDS. He claimed both Best Writer and Best Director prizes for himself as the filmmaker.

The Cineworld Audience Award went to Carter Ferguson's Fast Romance. The award was selected by online voters choosing their favourite film of the last two years.
Other honourary awards given were Outstanding Contribution to Broadcasting awarded to Eileen Gallagher; Outstanding Contribution For Craft (In Memory Of Robert McCann) awarded to David Peat; and Robbie Coltrane received the honour for Outstanding Contribution to Film.

The British Academy Scotland Awards returned after an absence of a year, with the last one taking place at the Glasgow Science Centre in November 2009.
